“Cottage nice and comfortable,we will not go back as there is no parking,you have to park on a busy road sometimes quite along way from the cottage
which is no good if its raining,also for loading and unloading.”

Ms MaguireAugust 2018

“Parking was only available wherever you could get parked on the main road.”

Sometimes not close to property.

Mrs BradshawJuly 2018

“The cottage was functional but there was some let downs in the listing as there was on intermittent hot water and Wi-Fi was nonexistant.”

It was not really friendly for the dog as there was no garden space and the area outside the cottage smelt heavily of previous dogs, which was off putting. It wasnt suitable for a young baby either as parking was away from the cottage on the roadside on a very narrow busy road used by cars, farm equipment and lorries. Locals were not necessarily sympathetic to you putting your young baby in the car sometimes driving very close to you and car doors! Having said that the area was quiet and peaceful, in a convenient location for the attractions and local amenities. We did have a fab time though and didn't want to go home.

“Excellent immaculate clean cottage with all amenities in a superb location to visit all attractions in the lakes.”

Highly recommended.

“The cottage was well equipped x comfortable,the only drawback was parking which was on the main road.”

“The cottage was fantastic it just a shame we had to come home on the second day because i was taken ill”

“Lovely cottage, shame about the place!”

Our accommodation in Hillrise Barn was perfect for our needs. Perfectly clean and comfortably furnished. The layout has been carefully planned and is great for two sharing.
However the cottage is seriously let down by its location. The area looks run down and is slightly depressing which is a real shame. It's for this reason we cannot give this cottage 5 stars.

Miss StrudwickOctober 2017

“The people in this part of the country are very friendly and made us feel very welcome.”

About the location

FLOOKBURGH

Cartmel 2 miles; Grange-over-Sands 3 miles.

A superb base to explore this interesting and beautiful area, the historic village of Flookburgh is set near the shores of Morecambe Bay on the outskirts of the magnificent Lake District. It is thought that the locally-caught Fluke fish take their name after the village, and once, Flookburgh was a popular resting point for travellers crossing the sands from Lancaster and still provides a home for cockle and shrimp fishers. Facilities in the village include two pubs, a grocery, a chemist, a Post Office and two food outlets. The Cumbrian Coastal Way footpath passes nearby and a short walk away from the village is delightful countryside, such as Humphrey Head, views of the bay, with its wading bird life, and Coniston's mountain range. A few minutes’ drive or a pleasant off road walk leads to historic Cartmel, with its beautiful Priory, popular race course, antique and gift shops, pubs and restaurants; including the Michelin Star-rated L’Enclume. Just over a mile away you will find the beautiful house and gardens of Holker Hall and also nearby you can try horse riding just six miles to the north at Bigland, or visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which offers a range of hotels, restaurants, shops, a traffic-free promenade, ornamental gardens and golf courses.
